If I had known I wouldn't have saved you!

Chapter 180 Method

But he wouldn't care about anything. As for women, she could say whatever she wanted and scold as she pleased. Once she vented her anger, her emotions would stabilize, and only when she was stable could she talk about things.

So he nodded and said, "Palace Master is right. I am not a heartless person. Since I have received so many benefits, I will naturally find ways to repay you. Otherwise, I will not help you deal with these three tumors."

These words were also meant as a warning. If Lin Shiyi and those three joined forces, Lu Qingyao would definitely not be able to escape and would have to surrender obediently.

The power of his Falling Star Sword Technique just now was enough to directly kill Bian Desheng, who was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Although it was intended as a sneak attack, Lu Qingyao knew that even if she faced the attack head-on, she would not be able to withstand this move.

Thinking of this, she said reluctantly: "Thank you, Danxian, for your help. I am very grateful."

At this time, a gatekeeper disciple hurriedly flew over. When he saw Lu Qingyao, he reported in a panic: "Palace Master! Many mid-level cultivators have come outside the palace. They said we stole their Yuanjing and are here to punish us!"

Hearing this, Lin Shiyi and Lu Qingyao had different expressions.

Many mid-level cultivators, needless to say, mid-level cultivators of the Spiritualization Stage, came...

"How many people are there exactly?" Lu Qingyao asked with a frown.

The male monk thought about it carefully and said in a trembling voice, "There are about twenty mid-level monks? No, about thirty! There are about a hundred low-level monks, and they have surrounded our Demon Refining Palace in a black mass!"

Lu Qingyao frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, she said in a deep voice: "I understand. Tell everyone to guard the formation well, and I will go to meet the enemy after I prepare myself!"

The monk was relieved to see that Lu Qingyao was not panicking at all. He nodded and said, "As you command! I'll go right away!"

After saying that, he excitedly flew towards the large formation outside.

Lu Qingyao once led them to rob the Yuanjing Mine of the Jade Maiden Pavilion. This was something that these low-level cultivators could not even imagine. Not only did they get life-changing pills beforehand, but they also got a lot of Yuanjing afterwards. With such a huge favor, they are no longer at odds with the Demon Refining Palace as before. Instead, they feel that they are part of the Demon Refining Palace and are willing to advance and retreat with Lu Qingyao.

Looking at the monk going away, Lu Qingyao bit her red lips and frowned.

Lin Shiyi was stunned and said happily: "Don't you have a plan? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Lu Qingyao glared at him and said, "With thirty mid-stage Spiritualization masters blocking the door, what plans can I have? Didn't you say that things will work out when the time comes? How are we going to work out now?"

Lin Shiyi knew that she was venting her anger, but she was not angry. She just sighed quietly, "Alas...if the Palace Master had believed in me earlier and concentrated the resources on me, maybe I could still defend the Demon Refining Palace after my breakthrough. But now, tut tut...it's too late!"

Seeing that Lin Shiyi was not panicking at all, Lu Qingyao thought that he was confident, so she took a deep breath and said with strong resentment, "Does the Alchemy Immortal have any good ideas? If you can help the Demon Refining Palace avoid this disaster, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

She stole about twenty years of intermediate-level Yuan Crystal from the Jade Maiden Pavilion. If Lin Shiyi really had a way to solve this problem, the worst that could happen was that she would just give him half of it.

Lin Shiyi nodded and said, "Palace Master, you don't know that those cultivators who have eaten the Fate-Altering Pill have not only improved a little bit. If given time, they will definitely be able to break through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. By then, with so many middle-level cultivators, will the Demon Refining Palace still be afraid of them?"

Lu Qingyao was stunned, her eyes showing joy, but then she changed her mind and said with a worried look: "But now we are facing a powerful enemy, and all the cultivators in the palace are still at the peak of the early stage of transformation. What should we do?"

If it is really as Lin Shiyi said, then fighting with the enemy now would be the most not worthwhile thing. With so many cultivators expected to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, how could she bear to let them go and die now?

Lin Shiyi certainly didn't want the two sides to fight. These cultivators had eaten the elixirs containing his essence and blood, and they had become the basis for his cultivation improvement. If they died in the war, wouldn't he be heartbroken?

He thought for a while and said, "Palace Master, don't panic. If you trust me, just listen to my command and I will definitely keep the Demon Refining Palace intact."

Hearing this, Lu Qingyao was startled and hesitated for a while. After a long while, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you're going to die anyway, I'll let you try."

Lin Shiyi said sternly: "Then please listen to my instructions, Palace Master. Order the monks to go and ask those people outside what to do in order for them to withdraw their troops!"

Lu Qingyao had no choice but to do as she was told. She called a female cultivator and ordered her to go and ask the cultivators outside the formation. Not long after, the female cultivator returned quickly and reported the news one by one.

"They said that as long as the Palace Master surrenders, they will retreat and will never harm anyone in the Demon Refining Palace..."

The female cultivator said cautiously.

After hearing this, Lu Qingyao was not angry, but instead looked resentful.

Seeing her expression, Lin Shiyi was confused.

This statement is clearly intended to alienate Lu Qingyao and the monks in the palace, but it seems that the Palace Master took it seriously?

No matter how stupid Lu Qingyao is, she can't be this stupid. There must be some hidden story behind this.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiyi asked in a deep voice: "Palace Master Lu, what exactly are you hiding? They came with so many people just to catch you. I'm afraid your identity is not that simple, right?"

It is a small Demon Refining Palace, with no late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators stationed there, and mid-level cultivators are even harder to find. It was difficult to enshrine three of them, and they were all spies. There are only some low-level cultivators with humble cultivation. How could such a force survive for so long?

Moreover, Bian Desheng’s previous plan was to prioritize the capture of Lu Qingyao. Now Chaos Palace and Jade Maiden Pavilion have joined forces to capture her too. What on earth is hiding on Lu Qingyao?

In response to Lin Shiyi's questioning, Lu Qingyao just shook her head and sighed.

She said tiredly: "I won't tell you. If you don't want to help me, it's up to you. I will lead the monks in the palace to fight them."

Hearing this, Lin Shiyi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who you are, you can say it or not. Since I have promised, I will help you no matter what. Just keep it in mind."

He was not trying to help Lu Qingyao, but he didn't want all the cultivators who had taken the life-changing pills to die. Only if they were alive could they bring benefits to Lin Shiyi.

The situation is now clear. It is indeed difficult to force the enemy to retreat without fighting them.

To be honest, with Lin Shiyi's current level of cultivation, he can still fight his way out, but the monks in this palace will definitely not escape, so he can only think of other ways.

How easy is it to make the enemy retreat without starting a war?

The other party is targeting Lu Qingyao, so he still has to find a way to get her.

Lin Shiyi thought for a long time, then he suddenly looked at Lu Qingyao with a look of joy on his face.

"Have it!"
